Father Junipero Serra had a decisive role in the establishment of the State of California. He founded 9 of the 21 missions in which very important cities developed and he worked without ceasing in favor of Native Americans.

Through this message, I ask you to defend the worthy place in which the his statue resides in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, DC.

Father Junipero Serra is one of only two Hispanics in this very important place. Please reject the request by senator Ricardo Lara to remove Serra´s statue.

Pope Francis will canonize Father Junipero Serra during his first trip to the United States in Washington, DC on September 23rd.

I ask you to defend the memory of this Founding Father of California who protected the Native Americans and had a key role in the formation of this country.
